13" Dark Smoky Quartz Crystal Cluster on Metal Stand - Brazil

This is a beautiful, dark smoky quartz crystal cluster from Brazil. This specimen is in excellent condition with a mixture of polished and natural faces for overall aesthetic enhancement. The polishing can be found across the facets of the crystals along the edge, as well as two of the termination facets on the large center crystal. It is accompanied by a custom metal display stand.

While there is a fracture through the middle of the center crystal, it appears to be natural and not repaired.

Smoky quartz is a grey-brown to black variety of quartz. This common name is derived from the appearance of smoke within the quartz crystal. Depending on the location and the chemicals present during formation, smoky quartz can appear opaque black, but it is typically translucent to some extent. It is believed that the quartz gains this color from a combination of natural irradiation and aluminum impurities.
